Chapter 408

After editing the copy for her Moments, Ma Lan deliberately added a few shy emojis at the end, then turned on the location for Tang Chen First Grade and clicked send.

Once this was sent, many people immediately liked and commented.

The comments were all kinds of praise, agreement, and sycophancy, marveling at how luxurious her mansion was.

After all, no one expected that Ma Lan could move into a top-tier villa worth over a hundred million, which simply exceeded everyone who knew her's understanding of her.

At this time, the Xiao family was surrounding a pot of duck frames stewed with cabbage, eating with bitter tears.

The old lady herself was holding onto the money tightly, and she was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Ye Changqian and his son and daughter had contradicted her yesterday, so she also intentionally wanted to torment them.

So, she went out to buy groceries in the morning, only bought one duck frame, then bought two large cabbages, washed and cut them, and stewed them in a pot.

She felt that anyway, she was old, had a small appetite, and couldn't eat anything too greasy or meaty, so she made this kind of thin soup and light water stuff. As for the three of them, whether they ate it or not was up to them.

Ye Changqian, Ye Hailong, and Xiao Weiwei were almost at the end of their rope. The three of them couldn't scrape together enough money for a meal at a restaurant, so they could only eat this kind of stuff at home with the old lady.

This duck frame didn't look small, but it was all bones, with no meat at all. Ye Hailong had already gnawed a pile of bone dregs in front of him, but he still couldn't fill his stomach.

Annoyed, he scrolled through his Moments while eating.

Suddenly seeing the one Ma Lan posted, he looked at it carefully, and was instantly so angry he gritted his teeth. He threw his chopsticks down and cursed angrily, "Grass! Ma Lan, this shrew, actually moved into Tang Chen First Grade. Damn it, is she worthy of living in Tang Chen First Grade?! Heaven is really blind!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady picked up her phone and took a look, and was instantly furious!

"This damn dog thing, specifically saying there are ten bedrooms she can't live in, she's saying this to me on purpose!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was extremely miserable, cursing in her heart, so many rooms and she couldn't even give me one to let me move in, and now she's posting it to deliberately irritate me. It wouldn't be enough to vent my hatred even if I cut her into a thousand pieces!

At this time, Ye Changqian also looked at his phone's Moments. Looking at the photos of the mansion Ma Lan posted, and then looking at the duck frame stewed with cabbage in front of him, he was so angry he couldn't eat, and directly added Ma Lan to his blacklist.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Xiao Weiwei also had Ma Lan as a WeChat friend. She took a look and was also angry and miserable.

Seeing that the three of them were all a bit dejected, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Don't pay attention to the things Ma Lan posted. She won't be able to live in that villa for many days before being kicked out."

As she said this, she cleared her throat and added, "Our top priority is to think about how to let the Xiao Group get through the difficulties and regain its vitality!"

Ye Changqian said sullenly, "Get through what difficulties? Tens of millions in debt still need to be solved, right? What are we going to solve it with? This villa is so old, I think it can sell for at most 17 or 18 million, and the remaining hole is still huge."

After saying this, he looked at Old Mrs. Xiao complainingly again and said, "The antiques Dad left behind can at least sell for over ten million, right? If you ask me, Mom, you'd better give all those antiques to me. I'll sell them for cash, and then go buy a house. After the bank takes this villa, you'll still have a place to live."

Old Mrs. Xiao said with a cold face, "Buy a house? Do you think I can move in after buying a house? If the debt isn't repaid, I might go to jail! I'm already so old; if I go to prison, can I still come out alive?"

Ye Changqian gathered his courage and said, "Mom, even if the court sentences you to prison one day, Hailong, Weiwei, and I can at least live a stable life with this money. But if you don't take these antiques out, if you go to prison, the three of us will starve to death outside!"

"Starve to death?" Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "You three have hands and feet. Even if you go to sweep the streets, you won't starve to death! I'm telling you, Ye Changqian, the batch of antiques your father left behind is my life-saving money. Don't you dare have any ideas about it!"

Ye Changqian couldn't suppress his anger anymore. He stood up with a thud and said coldly, "The things Dad left behind are for us descendants. Why are you holding onto them alone?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "What? Are you rebelling? Fine, go ahead and yell at me, go ahead and bare your fangs at me. If I die, none of you will ever know where those antiques are, and you won't get anything!"

As she said this, the old lady hummed and sneered, "Anyway, I'm an old woman, I've lived enough. It doesn't matter if I die now. Before I die, I will definitely make a will to donate my life insurance, and I won't give you a single cent! By then, it will be you three who suffer. You three have no ability and no skills. If the Xiao family falls and I die, even if you don't go to the streets to beg, you'll fall to the very bottom of society. Your miserable days are still to come!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Changqian was instantly discouraged again.

He had no way.

Really no way.

No money and no ability to earn money were the biggest problems for him and his son and daughter. If the old lady really died and the life insurance was donated, he would have no hope at all.

So he could only suppress his anger and say humbly, "Mom, I was just anxious for a moment. Don't hold it against me."

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted and said arrogantly, "That's more like it!"

At this time, several bank and court cars suddenly stopped at the entrance of the Xiao family villa.

A large group of law enforcement officers in uniform and several bank managers quickly came to the door and banged on the gate.

The family was surprised. Ye Hailong hurriedly got up to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!

At this time, a large group of people rushed in, directly directing many security guards to blockade the scene.

Afterwards, a person in charge from the court stepped into the villa and said to Old Mrs. Xiao, who was eating, "You are the person in charge of the Xiao Group, right?"

Before Old Mrs. Xiao could reply, the other party said righteously, "I am now representing the district court to formally inform you that your multiple creditors have jointly filed an application with the court, requesting the freezing of the Xiao Group and all assets under your name, and the freezing of all accounts under the Xiao Group and your personal name, forcing you to fulfill your repayment obligations!"

Old Mrs. Xiao blurted out, "I just repaid the bank over a million! The bank manager even told me they could give me more time. How could they change their minds in such a short time?!"

The other party said coldly, "The bank considers that you no longer have profitability, and dragging it out won't allow you to repay it, so they have initiated an application with other creditors to seal all assets under your name. Now you have one hour to pack your things and move out. This place is going to be sealed!"

"What?!"

Old Mrs. Xiao stood up tremblingly and blurted out, "Seal all my assets?! Why?!"

The other party said coldly, "Of course, it's because you owe money and don't repay it! In addition, don't blame me for not reminding you. You can only take away daily clothing, toiletries, and ordinary furniture. All cash, luxury goods, and valuables must be left behind!"
